im having trouble figuring out whats wrong with my car, i was driving and i felt like i lost power for about a second but then it was fine and i drove about another quarter mile and i felt it again but this time i just started losing speed no matter how much gas i gave it and eventually shut off...if i try to start it it turns over but it doesnt start..took off valve cover and tried starting again to see if anything was irregular and my timing belt was jumping off the camshaft..as if the tensioner wasnt holding it down...but cause theres a cover there i dont know if thats definitely the problem...any suggestions of what else it could be?

 

i would recommend pulling your DT Codes, if you haven't already, they will tell you where the problem lies.

 

The OP said nothing about a CEL

Read this thread about a guy with a similar issue with the timing belt walking off the cam gears.
